Currently, Facebook routes messages from non-friends to a user’s often-missed “Other” folder, rather than the Inbox.

This feature would display the message directly in a user’s Inbox. It would only be limited to individuals — so a brand like Coca-Cola couldn’t spam a bunch of inboxes. Facebook says it’s testing it out to a small group of users in the U.S., and the recipients can only receive one message in this fashion per week.

Facebook also recently rolled out a feature that will let individuals promote announcements to a larger group of friends for a fee of $7 per post. When we asked our readers whether they would pay for this, 96% said no.

So readers, would you pay $1 to send messages to non-friends? Let us know why or why not.
